Inclusive education is fundamental to providing equal opportunities for all students, especially those with disabilities. The collaboration among general education and special education teachers is vital. IDEA ensures that students with disabilities receive appropriate educational services and accommodations to support their learning. A deeper understanding of the impact of the disability is crucial knowledge to consider, especially when this may also impact academic performance. Join us for this session as we explore barriers that may hinder student progress toward IEP goals and general curriculum standards. We will review strategies to minimize the impact, leave with a better understanding of the unique needs of learners with one (or more) of the IDEA disability categories, and discover collaborative opportunities for all teachers. This session is aligned with the IEP Implementation, LRE, and Instructional Strategies of the TEA-required self-assessment.
